This $195 million Florida mansion is now the most expensive home in America

The luxurious pool area is a serious perk.Premier Estate PropertiesWhen it comes to mega-mansions, this 33-bedroom Florida compound on a private barrier island is pretty hard to beat. Sitting just south of Palm Beach in Manalapan, it's listed for $195 million, making it the most expensive home for sale in the United States right now.

The 16-acre estate, named Gemini, is the property of the billionaire family of deceased publisher William B. Ziff, Jr. Ziff passed away in 2006. He had developed a successful empire of tech-focused magazines, including titles like Car and Driver and PC Magazine. The family sold the publishing arm of Ziff-Davis for $1.4 billion in 1994.

The massive property is decked out with all of the perks that you'd expect for the astronomical price tag. It's bordered on both sides by private beaches and its own pier. On top of that, there's a golf course, pool, tennis court, and basketball court.

Gemini spans the width of a barrier island in Manalapan, just south of Palm Beach. That means it has private waterfront access on both the ocean and river sides — not to mention plenty of green space.

The look is "tropical Florida," with lots of dark woods, natural coral, shell-stone, marble, and other fossil stones incorporated in the design.

Bird and butterfly gardens complete the effect of feeling like you're in a wildlife paradise.

Despite the seeming seclusion, it's only a 20-minute drive to Palm Beach.

The property has been on the market since April 2015, although its listing became public just a few months ago. Previously, the most expensive home in America was the $200 million Playboy Mansion, which ended up selling for $105 million.
